Family Overnighter

The Elders Quorum hosted an activity up at Worthen's Cabin this weekend. It was open to anyone interested in coming up, so we decided to take Lincoln up to see and play in the snow. We did not plan on staying overnight, but we took our things just in case.
All I can say is it was freezing. At least comparatively to the valley! But I am always cold so I am probably not the best judge of temperature. There was quite a bit of snow on the ground but it was not anything recent. Which meant it was very hard and icey. Lincoln wasn't too sure about it. He wanted to be outside with the big kids, put he did not want to be put down. Mainly because his gloves would not stay on and he kept falling, which meant his hands were getting cold. So Mom got to stand out in the snow holding the little man as he observed the kids playing around him!
Luckily, everyone got hungry so we were able to coax him back inside where we stayed for the rest of the evening. He was quite enthralled with the fire and the two little Dixon boys kept him entertained so Mom and Dad were able to socialize and play games. I was even able to maintain my title as Leg Wrestling champion against my sister. As you can somewhat see in this picture Rachel is on her way over!!
We did not end up staying the night, but it was fun nonetheless. I think it was best for everyone that Lincoln did not stay. Who knows if he every would have gone to bed with so much excitement going on around him!
